The main island of Taiwan, lying just over 100 miles from the coast of Southeast China, has been home to various indigenous tribes for centuries. Largely undiscovered, I was intrigued to explore the country on two wheels. This country is inhabited by almost 24 million people and has two-thirds of its landmass covered by mountains. My journey starts in Chiayi, the gateway to Taiwan’s mighty central mountain ranges, before embarking on a 5-day journey to some of the highest roads in the country at an altitude of 3000m. A mix of Chinese, Japanese and indigenous cultural influences, Taiwan offers a land of mountains, tranquil forests and a diverse cultural experience.

ABOUT ME:
In 2013, I started my solo travel journey, leaving Indonesia in 2016 to become a full-time traveller and RUclips creator. My background in International Relations has fueled a profound interest in exploring different countries. My content focuses on exploring different cultures through the lens of a solo female traveller, aiming to capture real-life interactions and experiences.
My travels kicked off with a five-month trip across Asia, after which I moved to China in January 2017 to work as an English teacher-my first time living abroad. I left China in 2018 to fully commit to creating videos on RUclips, where I share my travels and the cultures I encounter.
Living nomadically since 2016, I settled in England in early 2022 after marrying my British husband, David. Now based in the UK, I continue to travel and share my adventures on RUclips.

這路線對外國人來說太強了👍，嘉義市出發沿著159->159甲大華公路->台18阿里山公路->台21新中橫 進水里日月潭->台14清境。
Thank you! It was okay actually as it was broken down into 2 days of riding 😊
Welcome to Taiwan
妳很有勇氣與決定心，也讓我看到這一路的美景，太棒了
Thank you so much for your kind comment 😊
Hi, thanks for sharing from Taiwan! I had a similar experience a few years ago riding along the Taiwan No. 3 north-south highway. After Jiayi, I found myself the only person traveling after nightfall on a seemingly endless stretch of winding mountain roads without streetlights and hardly any sign of life. It was scary. So even a few dozen kilometers of mountainous roads in Taiwan can often take much longer to complete than if you're riding along the coast. Use plenty of time. Otherwise one would at least miss much of the views that a ride in the mountains is supposed to offer. Glad you were safe.
我是嘉義人，如有要去山上，要早點出發，通常下午山上天氣會變，不建議下午或晚上才入山
平地的話，記得安裝神盾測速，不然會有繳不完的超速罰單。
騎腳踏車不怕照相
感謝您的評論和觀看此影片。我離開的時間比我希望的要晚得多，因為在離開之前我感到非常焦慮和害怕。我必須花一整個早上的時間尋找內心的勇氣來完成這趟旅程。我過去在越南、泰國、塞爾維亞和阿爾巴尼亞做過類似的摩托車騎行（你可以在這個頻道上觀看影片），所以我對此技術方面有一些知識和經驗。再次感謝您的評論和支持！
阿里山公路並不適合騎太快，會錯過太多的景色。
台灣1000-2500m高山屬霧林帶（cloud forest ），中午過後會產生濃厚的霧氣和水氣，騎行具有一定危險性，另因台灣山脈陡峻，氣溫變化大，山下是熱帶氣候，山上却可能是寒帶氣候，保暖衣物和雨具，是一定要備齊的，是其他外國朋友來台進行山地旅行或登山時，應該留意的
Taiwan is definitely on my bucket list. I truly admire how they have stood up against china and become a technology hub. Can't wait for next parts of your journey.
Thank you so much for watching, Keen! I agree that Taiwan as a country is very resilient. You can watch the other 2 videos here:

My #1 place to be! Can't think of anything as amazing as TAIWAN 😍
Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Syifa, nice to see you exploring on a scooter again. I found your channel, when you were scootering through Serbia - I think it was around Easter some years ago. And we're approaching Easter again... I'm interested in seeing a bit of Taiwan, especially, since I recently finished producing a CD of a group from there, who base their music on the ancient indigenous culture and traditions there. It's funny, how I come to explore various countries through their traditional music, and then I get to see a bit of these countries through your travels and adventures. Looking forward to more from Taiwan.
歡迎您來台灣🎉
Awww Diz! Yes riding a scooter in Serbia was excellent. Loved creating that travel series. I am so glad to hear that you are able to travel to countries through music and I am able to showcase it to you through these visuals. Happy Easter 🐣 and hope you’ll eat bunch of chocolate easter eggs for me 😂
@@SyifaAdriana Thanks! Happy Easter to you and Dave!
第一次來台灣就挑戰400公里,你太勇敢了.....祝你路上平平安安.一切順利,加油~💪
Hello Syifa thank you again for showing the place in Taiwan. 😊
It feels so beautiful when the road passes through hills, villages, and mountain roads🦉💕
雖然武嶺對我來說是跟廚房一樣常常走跳的地方，但每一次看到山景仍然會感到無比的壯闊並且感到路程確確實實地遙遠(我幾乎都是一天來回花蓮不天黑的速度)，相當佩服且感謝妳願意騎機車體驗台灣的山路而不是開車，這確實是體驗台灣山景的最好方式
Ahhhh thank you so much! There’s a different sense of freedom from riding a bike that you just dont get from anything else. I am sure you understand it too. Thank you!! ☺️
來自英國的朋友好勇敢，謝謝妳介紹以前被忽視的美麗國家╴台灣，給全世界認識。
You will be safe and Warm in Taiwan. I wish you experience happy the beauty of Taiwan.
You are filled with adventurous spirit, riding a motorcycle alone in the mountains of Taiwan, truly daring. Wishing you happiness
歡迎來到鬼島台灣，台灣的路面品質很棒的，到處都能免費體驗WRC級賽道，喔不對不對，沒有免費啦，一趟旅行可能會有幾張漂亮的國家級追焦照還是要付費的
Yes welcome to Taiwan ❤❤, I was waiting for this upload ❤
You are not crazy but interestingly crazy. Be careful riding the narrow hilly roads and stay safe. Would never imagine going alone on such a long ride but you are one daring solo rider.
Peter 😂 I’ll take your comment as a compliment 😊 I think I like to dream of things that challenge my innermost self and see how far I can go with that! Thanks a lot for watching.
祝福妳騎行平安快樂
Awww I wish I could give you a hug seeing you exhausted and scared when you arrived in the accommodation after a long ride 🫂❤️
Absolutely!
You did a really good job! Welcome to Taiwan!🇹🇼
Awww thank you so much for watching!
You are very welcome to come to Taiwan, I have enjoyed watching many videos of your exploring in central Asia countries, Have a nice and safe traveling.
Thanks so much James for following my journey throughout different parts of the world 😊
歡迎妳來到台灣 , 願妳旅途一切平安愉快 !
I just found your channel and I am planning my first motorbike trip around Taiwan. This is a great preparation of the expectation. Thank you for your video. Will be watching more.
you are really so brave and crazy^^!! as a Taiwanese, i would not drive on the mountain road after sunset. Be safe and take care.
Taiwan is beautiful and worth a visit
Planning to visit Taiwan 🇹🇼 ❤
Thanks so much for watching!
Enjoy your trip,taiwan’s scenery is beautiful
You are so brave to do this! I wish I could learn to ride a motorbike someday 😅
Aw thanks a lot, lovely! I think we both are brave enough to solo travel in the first place 🧡 I am lucky that I was taught to ride at such young age and grew up in a country where traffic jams were so hectic 😂 It gives me so much confidence to ride elsewhere. I am sure it’s never too late to learn how to ride ❤
哇⋯經過我家耶
這太神奇了
感謝您
喜歡這美麗的台灣❤
這真的太神奇了
太神奇啦！ 😊😊😊
真棒的提議，好好享受妳的旅程，台灣歡迎妳❤
勇敢的女孩加油 一切圓滿順利平安
Taiwan's mountain roads are prone to fog and rain due to altitude effects. Be careful to keep waterproof and warm. Welcome to taiwan
Quite unusual..not many vloggers have showcased Taiwan..the view looks similar to Darjeeling and Sikkim hills..thank you for sharing
It's so shocking to see how similar the rural roads and their vibes are to that of Indonesia. Literally feels like home watching this. Thank you for your inspiring experience, Syifa.
妳很勇敢，在陌生的國度以機車旅遊感受台灣最真實文化，祝妳一切平安，感謝妳愛台灣
Wow your journy made me fall in love with this country,it's comfortable,safe, calm, clean,green.basicly i fell in love
Yes, Taiwan is beautiful country and the beautiful people and beautiful anythin Taiwan is Iindependent
it's not😂
Taiwan is not a country😂
@@mikeyL-os5cf hi~China little pink CNM and NMSL 😝🤣🤣🤣
China's pink pig has made Taiwan, an island country, famous.

Pink people made in China put the island nation of Taiwan on the map.
Wonderful point of view. Can’t wait to watch the next episode!
I have been to Bandung several times for work, and the forests and mountains in Indonesia are also very impressive.
Welcome to Taiwan.
😊🇹🇼❤️
Welcome to Taiwan
I subscribed to this channel 👍
Thank you for taking us to so many amazing places which are so far off the beaten track. You are a very courageous young woman to tackle so many of these lonely places alone. Take care, and good luck!
Thanks a lot David! That is so very kind of you 😊 It gives me such satisfaction to read comments like yours!
If you're originally from Indonesia many inhabitants in Chayi mountainous areas ( Jou people )and around Sunmoon lake (Sau people )are likely your brothers and sisters because both of them are Austronesian indigenous people and have inhabited there since time immemorial. For many experts Taiwan is considered the cradleland of Austronesian people who spread across the pacific from Taiwan to Maori in New Zealand including Indonesian Archipelago.
I do not know what brought me here to your channel. 1st time viewing one of your videos. I had no idea how rural parts of Taiwan is. You are lovely and like your calm way. Happy Trails
Driving speed on high mountains will be affected by road conditions, gradient and gasoline conversion efficiency. If you want to enjoy the scenery and take photos at the same time, it is recommended that (1) the daily travel distance should not exceed 80 kilometers. (2) If the first scenic spot in the morning is more than 30 kilometers away, you can start at 7 a.m. (3) On roads above 2,000 meters above sea level, 30 minutes must be reserved for each trip interval due to low gasoline conversion efficiency. There are many hot springs in the central mountainous area. You can plan in advance for your next trip so that a soak in the hot springs can relieve fatigue.
Indeed and thanks for your comment! I left very late even according to my standard as I was too anxious to start this journey. I spent the entire morning doubting myself and tried to find courage within me to embark on this solo riding adventure. Thanks for watching!
you are daughter of this world, ❤...we realy love your video😊❤
祝旅途平安,愉快.💯💪
台灣有些山路 ,濱海線 , 很多砂石車 要非常小心 都開得非常快
Service at the petrol station! Wow! Great video again. Love how you just totally go for it!
Thank you, Aubrey! I would be lying if I said that I wasn't nervous. I definitely was therefore I left so late! It’s often taking the first step that’s the hardest and the rest will follow along ☺Your comment is such a reminder that kind service I received at the petrol station is worth being highlighted 🙏
在台灣的山路騎機車真的是一件很愉悅的事,我有時候也會這樣騎上日月潭
哇，還沒有看完視頻就馬上按訂閱😊😊很喜歡妳拍攝🎬的節奏與能讓人置身其中的粉圍，加油，安全第一☝️期待下一期影片❤
I am truely respect your plan, you have breave heart in adventure ，its amazing .
Welcome to Taiwan 😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉
Some of us may not be able to travel like you, but you brought the travel to us. Thank you. Have a safe trip and be vigilant.
Thank you so much Eugene. What a lovely comment coming from you! Thank you❤
Super schönes Video von der Scooter Reise 💯👌💪👍👍👍
I just saw your channel and I liked the videos you presented, salam hangat dari jawa timur.
You have the virtue of a well nurtured Taiwanese lady, you certainly will make a lot of good friends here. Thank you for making the video to help people of the world share your virtual trip around Taiwan.👍🙏❤
Thank you so much, Jackie! That is so very kind of you to comment this 😊
All the best to you and enjoying.
Safety is top priority, other is enjoying your riding in Taiwan🎉🎉
When I was young,
I listen to the radio,
& I drive all over the world.
Welcome and have a nice trip !
Hello mem I am your big fan since from 2020 when u visit our India arunachal pradesh in rengging village.lots of love from arunachal pradesh ❤
enjoy your stay in Taiwan
Welcome to taiwan, be safe and I sincerely recommend that you stay as long as you can ❤❤❤
漂亮的女生，歡迎你來台灣玩，旅行日記真的很不一樣，讚。騎車不要接近大卡車，行進間或紅綠燈都不要，大卡司機常有無法避免的死角，看不到某些周邊。
I think it is a pity that the first day of the trip passed through Alishan and Yushan National Park and drove at night. Because the scenery along this stretch will make you feel in awe of nature and mountains.
MMBCU is a very nice motorcycle, enjoy your trip!
Scooter, not motorcycle.
歡迎到台灣! 在台灣騎機車要多注意安全~
希望你能到高雄玩~ 旗津的高雄燈塔還有佛光山 都非常值得去拍照~
Wow... Terima kasih syifa... Hati2 di jalan
I like the pace of this video. Nice and easy 😀
Another great video. I live in Zhuhai, Guangdong, not that far from Taiwan. I may visit there someday. Taiwan is famous for many things. I think when it comes to food, their tofu stands out. Not sure if you've heard of this, but according to Wikipedia, the Polynesian people have originally come from Taiwan between 3,000 and 1,000BCE. This is pretty incredible.
The scooter you rode is not kymco, it is sym which also made in Taiwan, its a good scooter and very popular.
Tiwan is a beautiful country enjoy it ❤❤❤
Hello, very interesting and beautiful impressions. Best regards 😊👍🏻
Awesome Vlog & Hard Traveller With Scooter ❤❤❤
騎機車遊台灣是個有效率又方便的選擇，能夠認識台灣環境、民情風俗，更深的一面。
7:00 I know what you mean. I have been there before driving down from Alishan for the first time and at night. Absolute nightmare, especially when buses are coming up and take the whole curve to turn and get you unaware. Thank you for sharing your experience.
2/3 of Taiwan is made up of mountains, with more than 200 peaks over 3,000 meters high, rather than a flat forest island. It's larger than what you see on the map because it's a three-dimensional island.
Yes indeed! I was aware of the fact that Taiwan is very mountainous. I have watched a lot of documentaries about mountains in Taiwan ☺️ However I wasnt aware of the fact that I had booked an accommodation just outside of Yushan national park, which is a different national park than Alishan altogether 😂 Thanks a lot for watching
@@SyifaAdriana Enjoy your Taiwan adventure！💪💪💪
beautiful country
I love your voice, music, and video.
Went to Sun Moon Lake w/my friend. She was from Taichung, so it was a day trip. Very nice.👍
Be careful and have a nice trip ^^
Hello Syifa Adriana. Very interesting video. 🌹🍫
Such a beautiful Indonesia girl❤
歡迎來到台灣👍
很多地方值得你的探索喔~
Great video. I managed to hire a car while I was there. Just needed my Australian and an international license. Had my first accident in 30 years there, thanks to a scooter and a speeding Lexus AWD.
❤❤❤good luck with your trip ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing ❤, I have subscribed the channel. 🎉
1.40 memories is so adorable 🥰.
Take care guys
歡迎來台灣，也祝你一路平安順心。enjoy
Salut... Seorang wanita yang berani dan mempunyai suami yang mendukung hobby. Sehat selalu mbak
Tetap samangat dan tetap hati hati
Salam dari Jakarta
Be careful to ride scooter especially on the mountain road and enjoy your trip through Taiwan. I also enjoy your film very much.
Have a nice trip and sweet dreams
You'r so good, Wellcome to Taiwan, Have you a nice jurny.
Thanks for the 4K!!!
You are so welcome 😊
Beau travail ma chère. MERCI !!!
Did you know that if you stretched Taiwan's east side and "flatted" down the mountains, Taiwan would double in size and stretch way Eastwards?
Safe ride,enjoy the tour!❤😂
旅遊的終點不是目的地，而是過程。
祝福平安 順心。
謝謝！
Thanks so much for your generous super thanks 😊
